The current theory on Reddit was that he was going to declare actual war on Christmas. Santa, you are safe but watch your six.

Sadly, I'm more of an idea man when it comes to my fan fiction.

Two questions: For the Klingons, do you think the Shakesperian comedies are A) actually tragedies, B) silliness about humans or are C) not from the "real" Shakespeare? And am I spending too much time thinking about this?

My Star Trek fan fiction for the day is a light comedy about the theater troupe that brought Shakespeare to the Klingon home world.

I don't know what your family does on a Saturday afternoon, but mine watches William Friedkin's Sorcerer.

Poor character written by an author who has experienced poverty: My problem is that I'm $300 short on the rent and now my car is making a noise

Poor character written by a rich author: My problem is that I feel so inferior beside these beautiful, sophisticated rich people

Arkansas has one similar with the truly awful name of the Glory Hole Falls.

An apple crate that is normally used in film production

How can you tell that I'm a video producer? I use an apple crate to sit on when staining my deck. It probably wouldn't take too much looking around to find something repaired with gaffers tape.

I would love to pay one fee for all streaming services, but only place that comes close is Hulu or YouTube, where they function more like cable services.

Sure. And hardcore newsies would love it. Except it doesn't save local papers, which is something we need to think about as well. I haven't seen a lot of aggregate subscription models work. A hub and spoke model may be better.

I'm thinking about going out and finding an unsanctioned Turkey Trot this morning.

What about if big papers created affiliate agreements with small town newspapers? If you subscribe to them, but can link to articles through their website.

Look, if cranberries can be weird and bitter and still liked by roughly half the people at Thanksgiving dinner, then so can you!

I survived my half-marathon, but the Plantar Fasciitis I had in one foot, now is also in the other foot. Yea me.

You are as positive and upbeat as the Strava AI.

I will, but I'm a Type D runner. PRs are great, but not worth three weeks in a walking cast for.

I have a half-marathon this weekend, and I'm not sure how I feel about it. After a summer off, I've been rebuilding, and I don't feel like I'm quite there to run a comfortable race.

The original version of that post included "drinking whiskey in my underwear on the couch" but I thought that may be too early for that in our relationship.

Picking a profile pict is like bringing a toothbrush over for me. Be prepared because you are going to see me hanging out on the couch at 3am.

Probably about 25 years.

Unfortunately, Nazi Punks Fuck Off has found a home in a new generation.

Punk is having a resurgence, particularly after the election. As an old guy looking in, it seems like a where a lot of trans and disaffected youth are finding shelter. Time to dig out the Dead Kennedys albums.

I'm kind of enjoying the Strava AI. It's like your always positive running buddy. "Hey, I see you are running slow today. I'm sure it's a recovery run. Tomorrow, you will crush it."

I'm not saying that I'm the first person to drink 12 year old scotch and watch the movie Heavy Metal. But I definitely have to be in the first 10 or 20.
